Yu-Gi-Oh: The Festival of Time Official Discussion Topic

Why do you always ask for every single tiny detail, and never tell me why? If it's for a character's backstory, then that's different. But I'm not psychic, and I don't have the time nor patience to answer every little thing right away unless it's necessary.

I understand you're excited for this RP. But be patient. You will have all the info you need in time.

This seems awfully familiar. Oh wait this was when Gogogogolurk was busy pestering Nyon-Nyon over starting the FT RP....

Tech level is 5DS/Arc-5.

Didn't I tell you this is the 5DS world, and Neo Vesta is essentially future!Domino City? Pretty sure I did.

I didn't say I wouldn't tell you Golurk. I was trying to tell you to be patient and let me actually post the lore and info. If I constantly have to answer you, then I won't be able to post anything.

Aaaaaaand this is where we get into spoiler territory, isn't it? There is a reason for everything, Golurk. So just be patient and trust me.

New Mechanics

Sky Duel basics: The newest evolution of dueling, where duelists dance through the heavens alongside their monsters. There are two types of Sky Duels; Stationary and Flying. A stationary Sky Duel is a duel that takes place on two large platforms, with Sky Duel rules. The platforms use Ener-C, which is an evolved and more stabilized form of Ener-D from 5DS, as a kind of antigravity system. Flying Sky Duels are similar to Riding Duels, in which duelists ride on "Air Boards". Air Boards are exactly what they sound like; surf board like things with built in Ener-C systems. Think Silver Surfer.

Sky Duel rules: There can be two Field Spells on the field at the same time. Each duelist can activate their own field spell without destroying a prior field spell, but if there are two field spells already one the field, activating another will destroy the one currently on the field. Due to a recent outbreak of severe weather anomalies that disrupt the Ener-C System, whenever one of these Anomalies occurs during a duel, battle damage becomes real. Each turn, during the Standby Phase, each duelist gains 1 Sky Counter. This works exactly like Speed World. Once per turn, each Duelist can reveal either a Field Spell or a Normal Spell in their hand and remove Sky Counters to activate one of four effects of Sky World Neo:

3 Sky Counters: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
5 Sky Counters: Shuffle one Field Spell or Normal Spell from your grave back into your deck.
7 Sky Counters: Draw 1 Card.
10 Sky Counters: Destroy 1 Face-up card on the field.

Destiny Draw: Destiny Draw is an ability unique to Signers, Dark Signers, and Champions. Once per duel, if you have no cards in your hand and less than 1000 LP during your Draw Phase; You may add 1 card from your deck to your hand instead of conducting your normal Draw Phase.

I will explain what Champions are next, then how Synchro Cards and Champion Cards will work. Afterwards, I will explain the restrictions for Starting Decks and the restriction for Plot Cards, and then I will introduce Contact Summoning, which is a brand new summoning method Golurk and I developed. Finally, I will give a brief overview of the plot, how the RP will be work, and anything else you might need to know. Once that is done, I will boot up the Sign Ups.

However, the RP itself will not start until a specific date, which I am going to keep as a surprise for certain reasons which I have no intention of revealing. So don't ask.

Well, assuming everyone runs the standard 20/10/10 deck... No, you're right. It is a bit too luck based. Let's make it 2 cards or fewer. I don't want it to be easy to activate, and I don't want it to happen every duel either. There also needs to be a sense of urgency to it, a sense that you absolutely need that card, or you're going to lose.

3 is too much. Most decks can still make hella plays with three cards, especially in the late game.

...Contact Fusion is a thing. Maybe you want to rename that.

I already know about Contact Fusion. But this has nothing to do with Fusion.

Nothing, really, except the scenes in the actual RP. The methods themselves are identical, so a SSD and a FSD would have exactly the same rules and be identical if done on Duel Net.
